Mark Wahlberg Signs Up For Mile 22
The artist formerly known as 'Marky' Mark Wahlberg had signed up to Peter Berg directed action thriller Mile 22.
Joining The Raid stalwart Iko Uwais and UFC champ-turned-actress Ronda Rousey the film sees a CIA field officer (Wahlberg) and an Indonesian cop (Uwais) thrown together while transporting a compromised informant from the centre of the city to an airfield 22 miles away. En route, they have to contend with the usual mix of corrupt police and heavily armed locals.
Where Rousey fits into this remains to be seen but we can easily see her as part of the under fire convoy.
Continuing the bromance between Berg and Wahlberg - the pair are already at work on real-life oil rig disaster drama Deepwater Horizon which should be out next year - Berg had opted to simply act as producer, but he’s now slipping into the director’s chair to bring Graham Roland’s script to life.
